I am submitting this complaint regarding my stay at the Hilton University in Charlotte, North Carolina, during the CEA conference in March 2026. I had also previously booked with this hotel in December, and for this March stay I was given the special CEA conference rate. My understanding was that the total for March 25 through March 29 was $545.00 under the CEA rate.
I arrived at the hotel around 2:00 a.m. on Thursday morning after a long trip. I had called ahead before getting on the highway to let the hotel know I would be arriving late, since it was a four-hour drive from Atlanta to Charlotte and my flight was delayed, making it impossible for me to arrive earlier. When I checked in, the man at the front desk told me I would not be charged for that night because it was already the next day. Based on that, I paid $291.00.
However, by Friday morning, my card had been charged twice for $291.00. When a representative from the front desk called me, I explained exactly what I had been told at check-in and that my card had already been charged for the entire weekend. After that conversation, I went to my conference believing the issue had been resolved.
Unfortunately, it was not resolved. When we returned from dinner that evening, the situation became much worse. Payton then told me there had been a “miscommunication” and said that I had been given a discounted Hilton rate for Thursday at $291.00, and that I would also be charged $149.00 for each of the next two nights. This was never explained to me before, and it was not what was discussed with me on the phone earlier. I specifically remember the details because I had compared the cost to another hotel for the same three nights, which would have been $758.00 plus parking. That comparison is one of the main reasons I chose to stay at this property.
What I do not understand is why I was charged for a night I did not actually stay. I had notified the hotel in advance that I would be arriving late, so there should have been no confusion about my reservation or my attendance at the conference. To make matters worse, I was given a handicapped-accessible room with a shower bench, and the man at the front desk himself told me that was simply “what was left over.” On top of that, the hotel did not even have enough clean hand towels to provide extras when requested. This added to an already frustrating and disappointing experience.
Throughout this situation, Ms. ** and Payton did not seem to understand or address the fact that my card had been charged twice for $291.00. I was told one thing at check-in, but the charges on my card told a completely different story. I was also offended that it was implied I may not have even been attending the conference, despite the fact that I had booked under the CEA rate and had every reason to be there.
When I made the reservation, I was told I would receive the CEA conference rate for all of my nights, not just one. Instead, I was overcharged, misinformed, questioned, and treated poorly. This entire experience was unacceptable. I am requesting a full refund and a formal apology for the inconvenience, confusion, and poor treatment I experienced. Based on this experience, I do not plan to return to this hotel.

Not what we expected from Hilton. Old run down in need of major overhaul. So they must be scamming people for bogus charges. We have heard 2 different stories on why they charged us 250 dollars. First was we smoked cigarettes. Then later that day it was we smoked her words ** in the room. We are in our mid 60s. Even if we did smoke we both know better. Was there for a family member funeral. 2 nights each night both weekdays were different rates? Wow total stay costing us 559 dollars. What a racket. I have all receipts and will dispute and file with the BBB. So I guess this Hilton does as they please at Hilton Covington Louisiana. Will be filing with the BBB. This is absolutely ridiculous.

This has been one of the worst experience I have had with Hilton. I reserved a room for 3 nights. Immediately after, in less than 5 mins I realized I don't need to go so I called the hotel and I was told by the customer service agent to talk to Hilton directly for a full refund. So I called Hilton and they put me on hold and Hilton office talked to the hotel and then they said that they have canceled the booking and a one night room charge has been put towards my account. They did not ask me if I am ok to be charged the $400.
All they kept saying is this is a type of rate that you cannot cancel. This is daylight robbery. They didn't even ask me if I am ok with the cancelation fee. When I told them that I would go and stay for one night, they said that they will not allow me to stay even though they are charging me for a night. I requested for a 1 night fee stay for future. They refused to do anything. This is one of the worst experience I have had with hotel reservations. Please make sure you check with the hotel before booking. If you need to cancel for unforeseen reasons you will still be charged.

Stayed at Doubletree Hilton in Warwick RI out of necessity of snow and had to ride the property three times to locate a parking space with no luck until a manager offered one on another’s property a hundred yards away and then had to lug the luggage through a slushy snow driveway. Once inside we had dinner which was also a couple of firsts. The drink I ordered was not available (Bacardi Silver label and Coke) and then I asked for a Margarita with Silver Patron and not available The bartender was pleasant and could only work with what she had.
The food we received was good and my bride asked for Vinegar for her Fries and was told we do not have Vinegar. Then we decided on a dessert and the one was chose not available as was another so we settled for a small piece of Carrot cake. Overall a poor hotel experience, parking, restaurant and bar and in the AM of the next morning the plumbing backed up.

This review is for Hotel Dello Fort Lauderdale Airport, Tapestry Collection by Hilton. We got a reservation at this hotel paid by the airline who's flight we lost, they gave everyone in the same situation a free night and a $20 voucher in a hotel. My husband and I arrived at the counter and explained we had never used vouchers before so they explained that it was like a credit card, they'll add it to the room and use it as we ordered from the restaurant or the vending machines. Next day we left the hotel at about 4:45 am, the front desk people checked us out when they saw us leave. Turned out our flight was canceled and when I called the hotel they told me that once the check out process goes through, there is nothing they could do. Because the flight was canceled but they placed us in another one at 4:30 pm, the airline didn't wanted to pay for a hotel again.
My husband had food poisoning and was on his 2 day of vomiting, non stop, so I had to get him into a hotel so I paid $208 to go back to Dello. Today I checked my bank account and they charged $29.29 in food for the night we had the voucher. I just called the hotel and the manager said there was nothing they could do about it. I don't care about the $30, it's just frustrating the way they treat their members, we are Diamond members, we spend a lot of money staying in Hilton hotels. What a shame. Overall, hotel was clean, spacious rooms, about 10 min from the airport. Oh and free shuttle from and to the airport.

We have reserved a room at the Hilton Grand Inn Nashville Vanderbilt 1715 Broadway for two nights due to my heart surgery at the Vanderbilt Coronary and Vascular Institute. Our room was quoted price for $355.00. Upon further review we found out there was an additional charge for parking at $45 for self parking or $50 for valet per each time we would leave and come back.. This extra cost was NOT mentioned by the reservation employee in the amenities or the conformation email. After calling to verify this cost, the employee told me for two nights self parking the cost with TAX would be $98.
When I expressed my concern the employee said goodbye and hung up on me. Bottom line: Hilton is scamming people with there room prices by not including the ridiculous cost for parking up front at the Hilton Grand Inn Nashville Vanderbilt. The REAL total cost will be at least $455. I have been a member and supported Hilton since 2011. I guess it's time to start looking elsewhere! Conformation #**

I booked 2 nights with Garden Inn in Tyler Tx this weekend was the worst experience ever. The lady at the front desk was very rude and we almost got into an altercation because she was screaming at me in front of her boss and other people that were in the lobby. I have never been so humiliated in my life in public when all I was doing is trying to stay at the Hilton for the weekend to check on my sick brother that has stage 4 cancer. And this is the treatment I got. I got left with no room. I hope this doesn’t happen to anyone else.

I have never seen so many incompetent individuals. I am a GOLD Hilton Honors member, and I am really thinking about ending my relationship with Hilton. I booked a room at the Times Square property and wanted to prepay. OK now I'm told I cannot prepay as there is no option, I need to call the hotel directly and get a Credit Card authorization form. I call the front desk and get transferred to the finance department. Unfortunately, no one answers the call. The message says to leave a message. They will respond within 48 hours. Not so easy as the next message says I cannot leave a message as the party is not taking messages. I call the front desk again and get immediately disconnected. I call back a third time and get connected directly to the finance department again to listen to the same recording. CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCKS!!! Why is it so hard to get a CC authorization form.

Absolutely awful experience dealing with this company. TLDR: Their app key stopped working and my wallet was sitting in the hotel room, wouldn't let me into my room because I had no ID to present them even though I ensured them they could see it the moment I could get inside. 2.5 hour process trying to get the front deck to help me get back into my room with seeming passive aggression from the employee, only for them to finally call security who had everything sorted and me back in my room in 5 minutes. 2000$ week long stay and this is how they will treat you. Complaints about my experience later via the company support basically resulted in a partial apology and a good riddance towards me.

Unfortunately, my truck was stolen from the property’s parking lot during my stay this month. The hotel advertises onsite security, but no guard was present or visible when the theft occurred. I had parked in a front, well-lit area directly in view of the building. To make matters worse, the property has no security cameras to monitor the parking area or assist with investigations. This experience left me feeling unsafe and unsupported. I strongly recommend potential guests exercise extreme caution when staying here, especially if parking a vehicle overnight. Consider alternative accommodations with better security measures.

I arrived after midnight at Hilton Canopy Columbus and called the front desk for parking instructions. The night clerk, Stacia, did not provide clear or usable directions. When I asked for clarification to avoid parking incorrectly, she hung up on me in the middle of the call. When I later arrived at the front desk, the situation worsened. She told me she had the authority to deny my check-in, even though I was already checked in with a confirmed reservation. She then made me wait for an extended period, claiming she could not issue a room key, while refusing to switch computers, call a supervisor, or seek help from anyone else.
This did not appear to be a technical issue — it appeared intentional. The tone was arrogant, dismissive, and hostile. At no point was I rude; I was trying to check into a room I had already paid for. Hanging up on a guest, providing incorrect information, and refusing to involve a supervisor are unacceptable under any circumstances, but especially late at night when guests are tired and vulnerable. This experience reflects extremely poorly on the management and oversight of this property. I will not return, and I strongly caution other travelers — particularly late-night arrivals — to consider staying elsewhere.

We recently stayed at Hampton inn by Hilton in Yonkers NY. The room was clean and comfortable, the air conditioner- heating was very quiet and the staff were all kind and helpful. However, we were very disappointed to see that the windows were sealed giving us no possibility to open for fresh air in the room. This is unacceptable, unhealthy and should be against the health regulations. Please allow the windows to open (at least a few inches). Also, we recommend that you install hand held shower heads in all bathrooms for easy and convenient washing. Having the water running from top is a primitive and not convenient way. Please also note that in Europe these features are standard. Thank you for your consideration.

We stayed at the Hoffman Hotel in El Jebel, Colorado and we're absolutely shocked at the way management handled a potential security situation after a particular housekeeper repeatedly entered our room unannounced. We stayed here on eight separate occasions between October and December 2025. On five different occasions a housekeeper entered our room unannounced and repeatedly tried to get in even with the inside lock engaged. We immediately notified the front desk on each occasion and assumed something would be done about the situation.
In the end when the problem continued and we were made aware that nothing was being done about it, the manager chose to cover his own inaction by playing "blame the guest" and insinuating it must somehow be our fault?! Probably afraid of charges or a lawsuit considering this would all be on camera. Regardless, unprofessional and unsafe behavior to ignore this kind of situation in a hotel of this caliber.

Before I begin, let me establish my Hilton résumé. I’ve been a Hilton Diamond Member and Hilton Honors AMEX cardholder since 2017. I’ve stayed at Hilton properties more times than I can count—let’s conservatively call this my 2,000th stay. I’ve recruited countless people to Hilton Honors. This is also my first bad review ever. Unfortunately, it was… memorable.
Check-in? Fantastic. I was upgraded to the 7th floor. The associate was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely great. We received two physical keys (because I travel with family and my wife doesn’t use the app), drink tickets, and the usual info. So far, so good. We enter the room. It’s outdated—but fine. The rate was low, Florida hotels age like bananas, I get it. Then my 8-year-old says the sentence no parent wants to hear: “Dad… come look at these bugs.”
Sure enough—bugs. Alive ones. Dead ones. Exhibit A and Exhibit B. We check the beds—thankfully clear—but there are dead bugs on the nightstand. It’s 11PM, we just got in from New York, and I’m operating on fumes. “It’s Florida,” I say, lying to myself. Everyone goes to bed. Then my 10-year-old says: “Dad, something just hit my leg.”
I turn on the light and discover—wedged between the mattresses—an empty liquor bottle. Some off-brand, no-cap, mystery brandy situation. At this point, my son refuses the bed entirely and sleeps on the fold-out couch after showering, presumably to wash away the trauma. And as I’m walking back I look to the right and wouldn’t you know it, a condom wrapper! Sweet baby Jesus it’s a miracle!
We wake up the next morning at 8 AM to what I can only describe as active demolition warfare directly above our heads. Turns out the entire 8th floor is under construction. We were not told. The sound was a perfect blend of Thor swinging Mjölnir and Zeus smiting enemies. Just relentless. Naturally, I wondered why we were “upgraded” to a room directly beneath a construction zone. It reminded me of that time Delta “upgraded” me from an exit-row window seat to a middle comfort seat between two strangers for five hours. No thank you.
On our way out to Universal Studios, I calmly mentioned the bugs, liquor bottle, and the kicker the wrapper to a product a penis was recently in and general weirdness to someone near the front desk. I was assured it would be “looked into.” I didn’t demand follow-up—I assumed it would be handled. Universal was amazing. 12 hours of pure joy.
We return at 9 PM, exhausted. Everyone crashes… only to wake up the next morning to discover everything is still there. Bugs. Bottle. Condom wrapper (yes, that too). Clearly, nothing had been touched. Back to Universal we go. Another great day. Now comes Night Three, where things officially go off the rails. After two days and 20 miles of walking, my feet are done. My wife heads downstairs to buy a bottle of wine. She brings it to the desk and asks to charge it to our room. She’s told: “That room doesn’t exist.” Apparently, no one is staying in it. We are ghosts. She proves we are, in fact, alive and occupying it—but she’s so frustrated she leaves without the wine. She comes back upstairs, wakes me, and says: “Apparently, we don’t have a room.”
At the same time, my phone starts lighting up—multiple $479 charges hitting my card at once. My bank flags it as fraud and shuts the card down. Front desk calls and says they tried running it. How many times? They can’t say. Why $479 when my rate was $103/night? No idea. Also he said he had us down as a no show. Not getting upset I just thought this person is to stupid to recognize the impact his lazy accusation could make that I was a no show he clearly has not figured out they gave me a key, drink tickets an upgrade and I’m going to except this is my fault.
Ten minutes later, there’s a knock at the door. It’s a gentleman from downstairs… plus backup because clearly I’m a threat to taking the liquor bottle and condom wrapper from the room, so we are told since we “don’t have a room,” things need to be handled immediately. It’s near midnight. Kids are exhausted. I give them a card number. It finally goes through and my bank tells me watch this merchant, lovely.
Wake up the next morning. Thor is back. I check my credit card—we’ve been charged twice. Cool. At checkout, no apology. No acknowledgment. No smile. Just a look of stupidity from no training and general hate because they have to put there cell phone down. Driving home, I see another charge. I call Hilton and speak with a very nice rep who confirms:
• Yes, we were overbilled.• Yes, points were missed.
• Yes, mistakes happened.
• Yes, I was owed a credit.
Somehow, even after that, we were still overcharged by more than $250. It was supposed to be fixed. It was never fixed. I’ve stayed at Hilton properties for years without issue. This was shocking, exhausting, and honestly impressive in how many things went wrong. I will never stay at this property again. In fact I think this is punishment for staying at a Marriot property recently, the hotel gods are pussed. I wonder if the Marriot treat loyal guests like this. Also if you wife is attractive don’t bring her the construction crew will stare at her with weird high looking eyes.
I think that what’s important here really is that the person that stayed before us used protection and doesn’t believe safe sex is sh.tty sex. Also let’s not forget those sheets must have been changed by Mr. stretchy fantastic! Only he could have reached across the bed to tuck that side in without being on that side and that’s how the bottle was missed!! Riddle solved! The End.

Frustrating Experience with Hilton Honors Login - Unhelpful Customer Service. Rating: 1/5 stars. I’m extremely disappointed with my experience trying to access my Hilton Honors account.
